Stand by Me Doraemon (2014)

Once upon a time in the peaceful suburbs of Tokyo, a rather clumsy and hapless ten-year-old boy, Nobita Noby, found his life transformed in the most unexpected way. From his unassuming drawer emerged Doraemon, a remarkable cat-like robot caretaker from the 22nd century, brimming with a multitude of secret gadgets designed to help people. Alongside Doraemon was Sewashi, Nobita's descendant from four generations in the future, bearing a disconcerting message. In his time, Sewashi explained, Nobita's unwieldy decisions had left his family burdened with a mountain of debts. The future was bleak and desperate, and the only hope lay in altering Nobita's present. This daunting task of reshaping Nobita's fortunes fell upon Doraemon. Sewashi had installed a unique accomplishment program into Doraemon, compelling him to ensure Nobita's happiness. Only when Nobita was truly content could Doraemon return to his own time, the 22nd century. However, the road to Nobita's happiness was strewn with challenges. From domestic tribulations to delicate friendships and a blossoming crush on a girl named Shizuka, Nobita's life was a complex maze that Doraemon had to navigate. Despite his initial reluctance, Doraemon found himself tethered to Nobita, tasked with the mission to infuse joy into the young boy's life and save their family's future. As the captivating story unfolds, viewers are left to ponder: Will Doraemon manage to steer Nobita towards a path of happiness, thus changing the course of the future? And will he ever be able to return to his own time in the 22nd century? This is the heartwarming and compelling saga of Doraemon and Nobita, a tale of time, friendship, and the quest for happiness.
